I was carried through "Brown's Speculator House," (so called) on Perry street. In a house, in the back lot, won huddled together thirty-eight native (Congo) Africans! Don't shuddor and say tho "indral sentiment of Christendom condemns the trade." But it is a fact! I have seen the native Africans, and it is a fact! thoy were Africans. I found them jabbering in guttural sounds, something, I could not comprehend what. They were nearly all apparently in good health; fat, slick and greasy. In tho party were some five or six men; two or three wo-ment four or five girls; and the rest boys, or What might be Called "youngstors." They wcro each clad in common kersey pants and roundabout, over which they woio a heavy blanket. Women and all were thus dressed. None had shoes for tho reason that they could not walk in them; in fact could scarcely walk at all having been confined and crowded so closo on shipboard. Most of them were very port and lively; laughing and talking in thoir native tongno, pointing at and jabbering about everything that particularly attracted their attention. Some of them had very singular shnpod craniums they almost baffle description ono nearly square one had a convex facc-and another a sort of doublo concave;con-vex head; but most of them had good heads. Large flat noses big mouths front teeth knocked out rather small oars-'and Jilito small hands and feet. Some of tho:n were good looking but others shocking ugly some were what might vulgarly be called "puff" or hog-jawed. I noticed one man who had very high cheek bones and several scars on his face; and appearod very intelligent.- He was "big chief", no doubt in hiscountryi t was much surprised at ono thing; they re peated precisely every word said to them. I asked one "where do you como from I" anil he propounded tho same interrogatory to me, but, of course without knowing tho meaning; and in like manner uiary other things. Not being able to walk, thoy were carried jn a w "gon from the Railroad Depot to Brown's, and thence by wagon on to the St. Nicholas. I saw strong old farmers and sober-sidod merchants gazing at the sable creatures, some of thorn having no doubt a holy horror at such a sight. The twenty-eight Africans brought hero wcro the share (as t leartied) in tho venturo of a citizon of Now Orleans; and that they cost bitn (delivered in Savannah) fifty dollars each! Only $1,000 for thirty-eight Africans sound, able-bodied negroes! They wore in chargo of Mr. Broadnnx, who was carrying them to New Orleans. I said above, that the negroes were "all well" so thoy wore as well as could be ex. pectod but as might be conjectured, they wero mostly suffering much from disorders in cident to acclimatron. For somo time tho Africans could hot be induced to go on board tho boat, and seemed much frightened at the smoke, &c. Doubtless they had a perfect horror of traveling on water again, after having so recently endured a long and crowded sea toyg. The man ner in which they were induced to go is worthy of notice, the mate tried every means to got them on board, but with no effect Finally, he concerted a plan with a big black Alabama negro. He tried to get him logo On board, but he resolutely refused, when the mate laid him down on the gangway plank and hit him four or five substantial licks with his ponderous leather strap, when the said Alabama negro got up-, yelling awfully, and went straight on board beckoning to the Africans to follow and lty did follow to the amusement and amid the cheers of the Crowd. Presticb wishes the individual who invented the paying out machine for the Niagara and Agamemnoa would get up a tittle machine to be used in the case of every newspaper subscriber. A Nicis Tlach.

P. of Ohio, made at the Annual Sen eion, held in Zandstfillo, October 27th, 1858. Worthy Hepreientativest By the rapid (light of time, wo are brought to tho Fourteenth Annual Session of this Grand Division. A very few of us participated in the deliberations of this body at its 1st meeting. In this ever-changing world we can only hope that truth will abide forever. We will all pass away, but the principles we maintain will endure. Some of our early cotcmpornrics have rested from thoir earthly labors; others have grown Weary ih well doing, and returned to the service of their cruel master, or abandoned the entorprize as hopeless. Tho mutability of human organizations may be learned by the history of those who have been honored with the highest office in in your gift. Three have departed this lifo, all of whom died members of the order, and strong in the faith of its ultimate triumph; one violated the pledge, and has continued to livo in total disregard of his obligations as an honored Son ofTemporance; two have suffer ed themselves to drop out of the Order; while six are still more or loss active ia the work. This Institution, ia the fourteon years of its existence in Ohio, has passed through every variety of trial incident to all human organizations having for their object the elevation of society. Our division rooms have been crowded-again they have been almost deserted, and again a new wave of prosperity succeeded; followed by a decline of intorest-Our faith and unbelief, our hopes and fears, have alternated, and but for confidence in a kind; merciful, overruling Providence, we would doubtless long since have abandoned our great and glorious work. Christianity has been struggling for eighteen hundred years und r like discouragements, yet to-day the sun of righteousness is tho only light to scattor tho darkness oflife's pathway and dis sipate the gloom of tho grave. Our Order has been the gatoway of hope and happiness to thousands, and if it is abandoned, whither shall the tempted fleo, where shall tho stricken be healed, or tho Unwary find a refuge from the all-porvading destroyor? The ut terance, that our Order must not, shall not be given up, moots with a nearly response from evory Representative present. Animated with a common purpose, we have left our homos and came hither to cousult in regard to a cause dear to all of us "the cause of all mankind." In submitting my Annual Mossnge, it gratifies mo to be able to report that the Order in this jurisdiction is in a belter condition thin it was at the beginning of my administration. This improvement cannot be attributed to personal efforts on n;y part. I have been so environed by other duties and cares, that I have been able to give very littlo personal attention to tho work of building up Divisions. Undor other circumstances than such as havo surrounded mo tho past ytar, I would have been moie "abundant in labors." Calls fur my services-in different and distant portions of this jurisdiction, havo boon repeatedly and persistently mado, and it has been painful for me to dcclirio many o f theso invi tations. My highest earthly ambition is to spend and be spent in the holy causo we are united to extend, establish and porpotuate. The report of the G S. will show that our Order is in a hopeful, if not flattering condition. This competent, laborious and faithful officer, in a very important period of his official of year, was summoned to tho bed-side of a dying mother in a distant State, and his prolonged absence resulted in some delays and inconveniences in distributing passwords and answering official communications. The Brothors well krtow that nothing of an ordi nary charactor would interlere with tho prompt dischargo of this officer's dutios. Many of my Deputies have done their vroik faithfully. Among thoso who havo labored with unusual zeal to do thoir whole duty.and who deserve especial mention and commendation, are Bros. John R. Williams, Morris Squires, of Medina county, John Brown, of Noble county, T. D. Royse, of Clermont county, J. S. Templin, of Highland county, and Samuel J. Thomas, of Cincinnati. Wo tannot recall tho past whether our work bo woll or ill done wo cannot, if we would, urseal and alter the record. What hall be performed in tho futuro that remains, to us, is now the all-important question. All our interests membors of families and neigh- hoods-"a9 citizens of the State and nation.de-mand that our membership be multiplied a hundred fold in this jurisdiction. Wisdom in the selection of means, well directed efforts, faithlessness and perseverance, with the continued blessing of Heaven, cannot fail to so- cure this blessed result. A briof enumeration of some of the things lo be done, will not be out of place. First Every member should be true to bis pledzo attend every mooting of his Division pay promptly his dues labor faithfully to induco hislrionds to join take a temperance paper live, spoak, act and voto as a "true Son of Temperance." Second-i-Divisons should got up and sustain public meetings, procuro locturcrs, circulate tracts and temperance papers, establish libraries, or reading rooms, when possible build and own Division Halls make tho place of mectinit the central point whenco should ra diate an influence that would make the whole nenrhborhood feel the necessity, acknowledge the ralue of the Order. We must do more to vitalize the Order.so that its every movement will bo Instinct with lifo, to that it will be respect ed by the good, and feared by the workers o iniquity. - We roust be recognized as the City of Refuge for all who would flee from the snares that beset them as well as the un conquerable foe of all who traffic in intoxicating drinks. The power against wh'ch we mndo war has now complete control of all the departments of civil Government. Wo must dislodge the enemy from this stronghold, and compel the State to wield its mighty arm in his overthrow. The liquor traffic must bo outlawed and exterminated. Our Division rooms must bo the rendezvous, where wo shall enlist recruits for tho war df extermination, and we can hppoai to the God of Justice to give us the victory. ' Whatever elso wo may do at this scssioni let us resolve, with a will and a purposo, that Our membership shall be doubled the ensuing year, and its power, activity and efficiency increased a hundred fold. Having an unwavering faith in the intrinsic excellence and superiority of our organisation, its eminent adaption to the demands of tho ne I announce my determination to buckle on its armor more closely, and do my duty in any position in the ranks where my services will tdl most for the advancement, enlargement, prosperity and glory of our beneficent Order. S. F. CARY, G. W. P. Extensive Swindling Operation. A number of our Merchants victimized; recent extensive swindling operations have bee n tho talk of com mere int circles for the past two or three days, It appears that a man named B. R. Brown had been doing business in Cleveland, since last spring, and by adroit management, aided by a fine personal appearance, hud secured the Confidence of several of our merchants, with whom he had been doing business. About the latter part of December he perpetrated ono of the boldest swindling operations wo havo heard of for sotno time, by which some ten Cr twelve, and for aught we know, many more, have been victimized, to tho amount in theaggregate-, of probably $23,000. flrdwn Came to this city tho latter part of December, and using the business standing and character he had previously secured, to tho very bost adrantngo, he suceeded in purchasing sugar, molasses, coffee, liquors, and various other staple articles, at every house whoro he could make his credit available, He shipped tho goods to Cleveland, in the usual way, making tho "hardest bargains," possible for freight; and in short, doing everything in such an adroit manner, that there could bo no suspicion of dishonest intentions. At Cleveland the good3 wore all disposed df immediately; some ofthemsentto auction, others shipped to various points, after having the marks and brands erased by which they could bo identified. After thus disposing of tho goods, ho disposed of himself so as to evado his victims having probably taken a trip to California with his plunder, of which State be was formerly a resident for several years. We bolisvo he formerly lived in Dayton, from whence he emigrated to California, but since his return ho has figured in this city and in Clovelnnd. Wo understand his credit was not good in that city, and that his standing was but third rato. How he managed to obtain the businoss references, he did here, is a matter of somo surprise. An unusual promptness in meeting bis obligations, up to the final denoument, was probably the chief means. Ono thing is certain, however, he had so completely "pulled tho wool" over the eyes of one or two of our keenest merchants, that they endorsed his character in tho most unqua ified manner. A young wifo, whom he had married since his return from California, accompanied her husband in his hasty exit from business circles. Columbus Journal, Jan. 11. The Country- Pr6ss on the Governor's Message. The message is a dignified and able document, giving a clear, concise and truthful statement of the Gondii ion of our State affairs, Its Institutions, Schools, ic, besides making many judicious rccomendations to the Legis lature. It is worthy of the careful perusal of every citizen of Ohio, who feels an intorest in the welfare of the State. Gov. Chase is a model Governor, and bis messages lire model messages. Lima Oasitlf.

On motion of Mr.Houston of Ala., tho committeo on Judiciary was authorised to Send for persons or papers, and examine witnesses under oath, in rclntion to the charges against Judge Irwin, of tho Western District of Pennsylvania. Mr. UnJerwood of Ky., askod leave to introduce a bill for tho Construction of a railroad from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific ocean. Mr. Stephens, of Ga., objected insisting on tho regular order of business; his design being by this means to have an opportunity to report the Oregon Bill. The controversy relative to the reference of the Naval Ap.ropriation bill was ended by sending to tho Committeo of tho Wholo On thd Stalo of tho Union. After a short debate, Senato bill lo repeal tho law of 1850, allowing the secretary of the Treasury to chango the names of vessels in certain cases, was passed Yeas 78; Nays 12. On motion, the House went into a Committee of the Whole on the state of tho Union on tho special order, being a bill to codify tho revenuo laws of tho United States, nnd fur other purposes. Mr. Barksdalo, of Miss., wished to knnw from Mr. John Cochrane.who reported tho bill, whctherii affected the tariff. Mr. Clark, of New York, who was entitled to the floor, said that he would yield it for his colleague to give a reply of yes or no. Mr. Cochran declined to answer this limitation.Mr. Clark said that if this bill was merely for the codification of the revenue laws, he would have no objection , but it introduced a feature entirely new to the legislation of this country. There are no provisions therein which could bo construed to repeal tho navi-gation laws nnd open tho coasting trado to 'orcign Commerce. Ho proceeded to show that the chapter ih relation tuMarineho.pitals and health laws ought not lo become tho law. He also stated that this part did not meet with the approbation bf the Secretary of the Treasury. . Mr. Clark said in the course ofhis remarks that instead of tho hospital money being spent for tho sick and disabled seamon.it was diverted to the benefit of sick and disabled politicians. It was truo that in ono case $11,000 per aunum were paid for expenses of tho hospital and liveried officers, while not one dollar was spent for mariners designed to be ben. cfltcd. Mr. tiurlingame, of Mass., gave notice of his intention to offer amendments to the bill, and said that there were throe methods by which foreign built vessels may bo entitled to American registers, being a departure from the present law, which was passed for the ship building inteicsts of this country. tl was desirable that so much of tho bill as codified the laws should be passed. The committee tben aroso, and the House adjourned. AVasiiisoton, Jan. 13 -Sesate A multiplicity of memorials and resolutions, relating te mail routes, were presented. Mr Seward, of N. Y., introduc.d a bill, to amend the existing acts on the slave trade. Referred to the Judiciary Comtliltlcei MV. Simmons, of Ii. I., introduced a resolution, and asked for its immediate consideration, directing the Secretary of tho Treasury to prepara a plan for raising tho revenuo to a sum adequate to meot the ordinary expenses of tho Government, by tho imposition of specific, instead of advalorem.dutics; alio to Supply a schedule, containing all needful information on tile subject of specific duties On motion, the resolution was laid over till to-morrow. In Senate a discussivo debate ensued on tho Pacific Railroad bill, tie pending question being Mr. Bigler's amendment to locate the eastern terminus between the 37th and ioi parallels. itr. Collamcr, of Yt., spoko in opposition to any plan which would exclude any section of tho country by limiting the parallels.

On motion of Mr. Kunkel. of Pa., a resolution was adoptod requesting tho Sec-rotary of the Navy to fdrnish a statement of the amount of coal used by the Navy since 1S52; what commissions were paid to coal agents, and by what authority such agent are appointed. Various reports of a privato character were1 mado by the various Committees. Adjourned, Sen-ate.

Considerable time was occupied inadiscus-sion whether the Senate should take up the bill for a pmcnger railway along Ponns)lva-nia Avoivio in Washington city. The Pacific railroad till ecming up as the special order, another discussion arose as to whether it should be considered, or that th . Senate should take ftp the private calender. The teas aud osys were demanded, and re suited in favor of considering tho Paciffc Railroad bill. Yeas 31; nays 30. Tho voto was then takon on Mr. Bright's amendment to limit tho rotlte between the 37th and 1 U parallel, which was lost. Yeas 1 'J nays 25. Mr. Chandler, of Michigan; spoko strongly against tho bill. Mr. Wilson's subslituto, which lio offered on tho 20ih ult., authorizing tho President and Senate to appoint five civilerjgiriccrs.who shall within two years, locate the route of a railroad from the Missouri river to San Fran cisco, was voted on and lost. Yeas 23; nays 31, Tho debate on the bill Continued during the entiro day. Mr. Bigler.of FY, and Mr. Wilson.of Mass.. dlfercd various modifications, the object o' both Senators being to provide for the completion of tho mountainous and desert portion of tho route, although they differed respecting details. In course of tho discussion, it r. Doolittle.of Wis., submitted an amendment, providing that any contract mado by the President shall te submitted by him to Congress, and take effect only by joint resolution. Mr. Trumbull, of 111., supported Mr. Doo-little's plan.insisling that unless some provision was adopted; taking from the President tho definite selection of the rduto, the Bill could not pass. Thoso Senators who opposed the construction Of tho road altogether, had united with a few of Us IHondS.and rejectod the amendment to limit tho lino of the road between the parallels of latitude 37 Sc 13 degrees, thus leaving to tho President, and nut to the contractors, as sotrid supposed, the location of tho mute. A majority of the friends of a Pacific Railroad would never give suoh discretion to the President, after the expovienco we have had in tho location of the Overland Mail route. Mr. Thompson, of Ky., was also opposed to leaving tho location of the route to the President. Ho did not disguise his opinion that tho Pacific Railroad scheme was a magnificent hulllbug. tho 1' resident was a CleVer old gentleman; ho could probably dd His dwn marketing as sensitly as any body else, but he is not ondowed, by virtue of tho Presidency, with any extraordinary training quality.

Tho Philadelphia Press has the following in regard to the present aspect of the revival. It says; If we were called upon to stato the oresant condition of tilings in the religious world, as compared with the manifestittdns in the spring of 1839, so far at least as it applies to this city, we should say tHat the aggregate attendance upon daily worship, id localities where it Is still kept up, had perceptibly de clined; that the niain source of this decrease n numbers had boon frdnt anions non-pro fessors Who were ortoe attracted frord ourtdst-ty; that the trioro ontUuai.vsm, as such, of of theso palhorinjts had materially subsided? that tho meetings aro now, relatively, mdr largely attended by professing Christians, and that a ducrJerireligious sentiment pervade thoso mooting now than at any former period since th J Revival commenced.

I was carried through "Brown's Speculator House," (so called) on Perry street. In a house, in the back lot, won huddled together thirty-eight native (Congo) Africans! Don't shuddor and say tho "indral sentiment of Christendom condemns the trade." But it is a fact! I have seen the native Africans, and it is a fact! thoy were Africans. I found them jabbering in guttural sounds, something, I could not comprehend what. They were nearly all apparently in good health; fat, slick and greasy. In tho party were some five or six men; two or three wo-ment four or five girls; and the rest boys, or What might be Called "youngstors." They wcro each clad in common kersey pants and roundabout, over which they woio a heavy blanket. Women and all were thus dressed. None had shoes for tho reason that they could not walk in them; in fact could scarcely walk at all having been confined and crowded so closo on shipboard. Most of them were very port and lively; laughing and talking in thoir native tongno, pointing at and jabbering about everything that particularly attracted their attention. Some of them had very singular shnpod craniums they almost baffle description ono nearly square one had a convex facc-and another a sort of doublo concave;con-vex head; but most of them had good heads. Large flat noses big mouths front teeth knocked out rather small oars-'and Jilito small hands and feet. Some of tho:n were good looking but others shocking ugly some were what might vulgarly be called "puff" or hog-jawed. I noticed one man who had very high cheek bones and several scars on his face; and appearod very intelligent.- He was "big chief", no doubt in hiscountryi t was much surprised at ono thing; they re peated precisely every word said to them. I asked one "where do you como from I" anil he propounded tho same interrogatory to me, but, of course without knowing tho meaning; and in like manner uiary other things. Not being able to walk, thoy were carried jn a w "gon from the Railroad Depot to Brown's, and thence by wagon on to the St. Nicholas. I saw strong old farmers and sober-sidod merchants gazing at the sable creatures, some of thorn having no doubt a holy horror at such a sight. The twenty-eight Africans brought hero wcro the share (as t leartied) in tho venturo of a citizon of Now Orleans; and that they cost bitn (delivered in Savannah) fifty dollars each! Only $1,000 for thirty-eight Africans sound, able-bodied negroes! They wore in chargo of Mr. Broadnnx, who was carrying them to New Orleans. I said above, that the negroes were "all well" so thoy wore as well as could be ex. pectod but as might be conjectured, they wero mostly suffering much from disorders in cident to acclimatron. For somo time tho Africans could hot be induced to go on board tho boat, and seemed much frightened at the smoke, &c. Doubtless they had a perfect horror of traveling on water again, after having so recently endured a long and crowded sea toyg. The man ner in which they were induced to go is worthy of notice, the mate tried every means to got them on board, but with no effect Finally, he concerted a plan with a big black Alabama negro. He tried to get him logo On board, but he resolutely refused, when the mate laid him down on the gangway plank and hit him four or five substantial licks with his ponderous leather strap, when the said Alabama negro got up-, yelling awfully, and went straight on board beckoning to the Africans to follow and lty did follow to the amusement and amid the cheers of the Crowd. Presticb wishes the individual who invented the paying out machine for the Niagara and Agamemnoa would get up a tittle machine to be used in the case of every newspaper subscriber. A Nicis Tlach.

P. of Ohio, made at the Annual Sen eion, held in Zandstfillo, October 27th, 1858. Worthy Hepreientativest By the rapid (light of time, wo are brought to tho Fourteenth Annual Session of this Grand Division. A very few of us participated in the deliberations of this body at its 1st meeting. In this ever-changing world we can only hope that truth will abide forever. We will all pass away, but the principles we maintain will endure. Some of our early cotcmpornrics have rested from thoir earthly labors; others have grown Weary ih well doing, and returned to the service of their cruel master, or abandoned the entorprize as hopeless. Tho mutability of human organizations may be learned by the history of those who have been honored with the highest office in in your gift. Three have departed this lifo, all of whom died members of the order, and strong in the faith of its ultimate triumph; one violated the pledge, and has continued to livo in total disregard of his obligations as an honored Son ofTemporance; two have suffer ed themselves to drop out of the Order; while six are still more or loss active ia the work. This Institution, ia the fourteon years of its existence in Ohio, has passed through every variety of trial incident to all human organizations having for their object the elevation of society. Our division rooms have been crowded-again they have been almost deserted, and again a new wave of prosperity succeeded; followed by a decline of intorest-Our faith and unbelief, our hopes and fears, have alternated, and but for confidence in a kind; merciful, overruling Providence, we would doubtless long since have abandoned our great and glorious work. Christianity has been struggling for eighteen hundred years und r like discouragements, yet to-day the sun of righteousness is tho only light to scattor tho darkness oflife's pathway and dis sipate the gloom of tho grave. Our Order has been the gatoway of hope and happiness to thousands, and if it is abandoned, whither shall the tempted fleo, where shall tho stricken be healed, or tho Unwary find a refuge from the all-porvading destroyor? The ut terance, that our Order must not, shall not be given up, moots with a nearly response from evory Representative present. Animated with a common purpose, we have left our homos and came hither to cousult in regard to a cause dear to all of us "the cause of all mankind." In submitting my Annual Mossnge, it gratifies mo to be able to report that the Order in this jurisdiction is in a belter condition thin it was at the beginning of my administration. This improvement cannot be attributed to personal efforts on n;y part. I have been so environed by other duties and cares, that I have been able to give very littlo personal attention to tho work of building up Divisions. Undor other circumstances than such as havo surrounded mo tho past ytar, I would have been moie "abundant in labors." Calls fur my services-in different and distant portions of this jurisdiction, havo boon repeatedly and persistently mado, and it has been painful for me to dcclirio many o f theso invi tations. My highest earthly ambition is to spend and be spent in the holy causo we are united to extend, establish and porpotuate. The report of the G S. will show that our Order is in a hopeful, if not flattering condition. This competent, laborious and faithful officer, in a very important period of his official of year, was summoned to tho bed-side of a dying mother in a distant State, and his prolonged absence resulted in some delays and inconveniences in distributing passwords and answering official communications. The Brothors well krtow that nothing of an ordi nary charactor would interlere with tho prompt dischargo of this officer's dutios. Many of my Deputies have done their vroik faithfully. Among thoso who havo labored with unusual zeal to do thoir whole duty.and who deserve especial mention and commendation, are Bros. John R. Williams, Morris Squires, of Medina county, John Brown, of Noble county, T. D. Royse, of Clermont county, J. S. Templin, of Highland county, and Samuel J. Thomas, of Cincinnati. Wo tannot recall tho past whether our work bo woll or ill done wo cannot, if we would, urseal and alter the record. What hall be performed in tho futuro that remains, to us, is now the all-important question. All our interests membors of families and neigh- hoods-"a9 citizens of the State and nation.de-mand that our membership be multiplied a hundred fold in this jurisdiction. Wisdom in the selection of means, well directed efforts, faithlessness and perseverance, with the continued blessing of Heaven, cannot fail to so- cure this blessed result. A briof enumeration of some of the things lo be done, will not be out of place. First Every member should be true to bis pledzo attend every mooting of his Division pay promptly his dues labor faithfully to induco hislrionds to join take a temperance paper live, spoak, act and voto as a "true Son of Temperance." Second-i-Divisons should got up and sustain public meetings, procuro locturcrs, circulate tracts and temperance papers, establish libraries, or reading rooms, when possible build and own Division Halls make tho place of mectinit the central point whenco should ra diate an influence that would make the whole nenrhborhood feel the necessity, acknowledge the ralue of the Order. We must do more to vitalize the Order.so that its every movement will bo Instinct with lifo, to that it will be respect ed by the good, and feared by the workers o iniquity. - We roust be recognized as the City of Refuge for all who would flee from the snares that beset them as well as the un conquerable foe of all who traffic in intoxicating drinks. The power against wh'ch we mndo war has now complete control of all the departments of civil Government. Wo must dislodge the enemy from this stronghold, and compel the State to wield its mighty arm in his overthrow. The liquor traffic must bo outlawed and exterminated. Our Division rooms must bo the rendezvous, where wo shall enlist recruits for tho war df extermination, and we can hppoai to the God of Justice to give us the victory. ' Whatever elso wo may do at this scssioni let us resolve, with a will and a purposo, that Our membership shall be doubled the ensuing year, and its power, activity and efficiency increased a hundred fold. Having an unwavering faith in the intrinsic excellence and superiority of our organisation, its eminent adaption to the demands of tho ne I announce my determination to buckle on its armor more closely, and do my duty in any position in the ranks where my services will tdl most for the advancement, enlargement, prosperity and glory of our beneficent Order. S. F. CARY, G. W. P. Extensive Swindling Operation. A number of our Merchants victimized; recent extensive swindling operations have bee n tho talk of com mere int circles for the past two or three days, It appears that a man named B. R. Brown had been doing business in Cleveland, since last spring, and by adroit management, aided by a fine personal appearance, hud secured the Confidence of several of our merchants, with whom he had been doing business. About the latter part of December he perpetrated ono of the boldest swindling operations wo havo heard of for sotno time, by which some ten Cr twelve, and for aught we know, many more, have been victimized, to tho amount in theaggregate-, of probably $23,000. flrdwn Came to this city tho latter part of December, and using the business standing and character he had previously secured, to tho very bost adrantngo, he suceeded in purchasing sugar, molasses, coffee, liquors, and various other staple articles, at every house whoro he could make his credit available, He shipped tho goods to Cleveland, in the usual way, making tho "hardest bargains," possible for freight; and in short, doing everything in such an adroit manner, that there could bo no suspicion of dishonest intentions. At Cleveland the good3 wore all disposed df immediately; some ofthemsentto auction, others shipped to various points, after having the marks and brands erased by which they could bo identified. After thus disposing of tho goods, ho disposed of himself so as to evado his victims having probably taken a trip to California with his plunder, of which State be was formerly a resident for several years. We bolisvo he formerly lived in Dayton, from whence he emigrated to California, but since his return ho has figured in this city and in Clovelnnd. Wo understand his credit was not good in that city, and that his standing was but third rato. How he managed to obtain the businoss references, he did here, is a matter of somo surprise. An unusual promptness in meeting bis obligations, up to the final denoument, was probably the chief means. Ono thing is certain, however, he had so completely "pulled tho wool" over the eyes of one or two of our keenest merchants, that they endorsed his character in tho most unqua ified manner. A young wifo, whom he had married since his return from California, accompanied her husband in his hasty exit from business circles. Columbus Journal, Jan. 11.

On motion of Mr.Houston of Ala., tho committeo on Judiciary was authorised to Send for persons or papers, and examine witnesses under oath, in rclntion to the charges against Judge Irwin, of tho Western District of Pennsylvania. Mr. UnJerwood of Ky., askod leave to introduce a bill for tho Construction of a railroad from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific ocean. Mr. Stephens, of Ga., objected insisting on tho regular order of business; his design being by this means to have an opportunity to report the Oregon Bill. The controversy relative to the reference of the Naval Ap.ropriation bill was ended by sending to tho Committeo of tho Wholo On thd Stalo of tho Union. After a short debate, Senato bill lo repeal tho law of 1850, allowing the secretary of the Treasury to chango the names of vessels in certain cases, was passed Yeas 78; Nays 12. On motion, the House went into a Committee of the Whole on the state of tho Union on tho special order, being a bill to codify tho revenuo laws of tho United States, nnd fur other purposes. Mr. Barksdalo, of Miss., wished to knnw from Mr. John Cochrane.who reported tho bill, whctherii affected the tariff. Mr. Clark, of New York, who was entitled to the floor, said that he would yield it for his colleague to give a reply of yes or no. Mr. Cochran declined to answer this limitation.Mr. Clark said that if this bill was merely for the codification of the revenue laws, he would have no objection , but it introduced a feature entirely new to the legislation of this country. There are no provisions therein which could bo construed to repeal tho navi-gation laws nnd open tho coasting trado to 'orcign Commerce. Ho proceeded to show that the chapter ih relation tuMarineho.pitals and health laws ought not lo become tho law. He also stated that this part did not meet with the approbation bf the Secretary of the Treasury. . Mr. Clark said in the course ofhis remarks that instead of tho hospital money being spent for tho sick and disabled seamon.it was diverted to the benefit of sick and disabled politicians. It was truo that in ono case $11,000 per aunum were paid for expenses of tho hospital and liveried officers, while not one dollar was spent for mariners designed to be ben. cfltcd. Mr. tiurlingame, of Mass., gave notice of his intention to offer amendments to the bill, and said that there were throe methods by which foreign built vessels may bo entitled to American registers, being a departure from the present law, which was passed for the ship building inteicsts of this country. tl was desirable that so much of tho bill as codified the laws should be passed. The committee tben aroso, and the House adjourned. AVasiiisoton, Jan. 13 -Sesate A multiplicity of memorials and resolutions, relating te mail routes, were presented. Mr Seward, of N.
